Love this, Luke. As a fellow aussie male who loves books and tends towards the “softer” side, I know exactly what you mean. I’m sure you can relate to the feeling of sitting in the locker room at footy, wanting to talk about Eragon, but worried you’ll get laughed at.

I wrote a list of things that encapsulate what being a man is to me. I think you might enjoy it!
